In one of their most professional efforts ever (even with Alfredo's audio sounding like a Jack in the Box drive-thru speaker) the HBTG boys visited with Samantha Swindler -- features reporter, videographer, chronicler of all things weird, intriguing, and off-the-beaten path for The Oregonian/OregonLive -- to learn more about her recent efforts to determine the oldest continuously operating bar location in Oregon. It was a search that ultimately came down to the Rainbow Cafe in downtown Pendleton and a place called Pioneer Saloon in the tiny ranching community of Paisley in South-Central Oregon. Both claimed 1883 and, as we revealed in the interview, neither turned out to be correct. But one eventually stood alone as the undisputed oldest bar in Oregon.

Season 3 of History by the Glass reaches its culmination with a trip into the heart of Portland's historic Chinatown district to visit the century-ish old Republic Cafe (222 NW 4th Ave.) — the oldest Chinese-American restaurant in the city — and its random and remarkable Ming Lounge. Still stuffed with Christmas ham and eggnog, Alfredo and Nathan shackled themselves to longtime friend of the pod Bill Clifford and headed into the red-tinted unkown to seek the treasure of character-centric historic bar experiences. And thanks to bar host Heather Nissa Ragonese (and perhaps the epicurean spirits of all the Chinese, Japanese, and/or American customers of years past) they found it in droves on an unforgettable night in old Portland. First, however, they summarized the HBTG year that was and previewed a forthcoming interview with Oregonian/Here is Oregon reporter Samantha Swindler — curator of the state's most distinct human interest stories and newfound historic bar researcher —in another overflowing episode of History by the Glass!

Filled with immense thanks for all YOU who have traveled with the two of US for the past six years, we celebrated Thanksgiving weekend with our second annual HBTG Audience Choice Episode. The ridiculously over-complicated Thunderdome selection process saw 12 audience-nominated old bars enter, one bar leave as chic NW Portland's beloved Rasputinesque anachronism Joe's Cellar (1332 NW 21st Ave., Est. 1941) outlasted nearby Yur's in the deciding round. Both finalists were nominated by the fine folks at Slabtown Tours, North & NW Portland's preeminent walking tour guides and keepers of eclectic local history. For Nathan and Alfredo it was an opportunity to reconnect with a pre-podcast HBTG bar (some 6 1/2 years after their initial visit) and marvel once more at its subterranean divey charm, dedicated bartenders, and jaunty ambiance. All of which improbably endures despite the structural death sentence it received during a highly publicized months-long closure in 2013. At Joe's, it's always the end of the world as we know it and we feel fine!

"There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive." And that's just where the HBTG boys found themselves after an energy draining 2-month production delay -- rusty, slightly discombobulated, and, yes, probably a little drunker than advisable...but still slightly ALIVE and, in fact, overflowing with joy after a visit to one of their all time favorite IRL bars, SW Portland's The Old Barn (9656 SW Barbur Blvd., Est. 1981). A conversation with longtime owners and former proprietors Johnny and Karri Malafouris, and the city's best Sunday NFL bartender / TV whisperer Gina Angerilli, sent the boys down memory lane with this classically unpretentious, ramshackle, mass transit adjacent neighborhood joint, where the drinks are honest and plentiful, the food distinct and filling, and the sports-centric atmosphere more comfortable than your living room couch on Thanksgiving day. It's the kind of place modern Portland too often takes for granted and that veteran bar owners feel is slowly slipping from our consciousness. But as long as The Old Barn and other blue collar neighborhood spots like it remain slightly alive, then there's hope for us all.

"Faster, Higher, Stronger...Drunker?" To commemorate these Games of the XXXIII Olympiad in Paris, the HBTG boys set their sights on the Marathon Taverna (SW 18th & Burnside), arriving just past opening at 7 a.m. alongside several of Portland's world-class early morning drinkers (including one bourbon-loving fly) to take advantage of the economical breakfast special, jaunty bar conversation, and live Olympic coverage. A corner drinking spot by several different names since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Marathon was established in 1974 by Greek immigrant Harlambos “Bobby” Polizos who, along with his wife Diane, also ran the legendary Acropolis Steakhouse (strip club) in deep SE Portland. Both continue to be family owned and operated today. It's the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and all the rise and chug magic you love in this gold medal caliber episode of History by the Glass!

*DRUMS PLEASE* Here it is, the pod, slightly transformed, just a bit of a break from the norm, just a little somethin' to break the monotony... Yes indeed, it is SUMMERTIME in the city and on the eve of America's birthday, the HBTG boys put their sunglasses on, oiled each other up like a pair of Navy fighter pilots prepping for a sand volleyball game, and headed north to the mighty Columbia River to seek, no, not the Northwest Passage, but the oldest bar in Portland's sector of this legendary waterway -- the Sextant Bar & Galley (4035 NE Marine Drive)! Built in 1973 by longtime owner/proprietor Dean Burch, this venerable, unpretentious local spot continues to be run by the same family today. It's a classic neighborhood bar & grill, featuring back patio river views interspersed with aircraft fly-overs -- a perfectly satisfying place to have a cold one. But with the sun in your face, a Corona or two coursing through your veins, and the endless possibility of summer on your mind, satisfaction is sometimes only as good as the next bar down river... ...So think of the summers of the past, adjust the bass and let the Apline blast, play this episode and let 'em run a rhyme and put yourself on cruise and lay back 'cause this is summertime...

Still riding the high from their Season 2 premiere at Bill's Steakhouse... *checks calendar*... EIGHT GD weeks ago (!?!?), the boys welcomed back longtime friend of the podcast and veteran Portland bar aficionado Bill Clifford in-studio to test drive a new HBTG interview segment, and reflect fondly on his most formative/traumatizing bar moments, the shuttered local joint he misses most, and the only way to get a proper dry Manhattan with a twist. Along the way, they blew the lid off of the Dry January movement which, in one of the most SHOCKING episodes ever, appears to have even radicalized one of their own...it's all on this episode between the episodes we call HBTG: Shots in the Dark.

How do we embrace the notion that our story has value? If we think that others have it worse than us, we often don’t get the care and attention we need and deserve. If we present with urgency, we risk being perceived as exaggerating. What if we embraced these pain messages and treat them as if they were a part of you? Pain IS a part of you. It’s a way to tune in and refine your body’s needs. In today’s episode, we learn about how important it is to listen to the smaller signs that come up and how to be an advocate for your health with our guest, Paige.  Paige is an acupuncturist and contemporary movement artist who explains how her pain got her attention. Paige shares her stories about how holding stress in the body is a real thing and how she’s linking emotions and pain to change her behavior with self-care. What does it look like to take yourself and your pain seriously enough to get the help that you need? Key Points From This Episode: Language for pain. Chronically ignored pain changes your brain relationship to pain. All pain has three contributing components to it: mechanical, biochemical, and emotional. Diagnosis is good, but it can really box someone in. Labels or diagnoses put a tangible concept to a potentially overwhelming situation to provide a roadmap out of it. Correlation between lower back pain and abdominal distress. SIBO - Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (under the umbrella diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome); occurrence happens usually after abdominal surgery and women over 40. Neuroscientist Candace Pert - the connection between body and mind. The psychosomatic network of proteins or neuropeptides. Alcohol use contribution to biochemical pain triggers. Self-care and the importance of emotional stress.   Links Related to This Episode: Stress Impact on the Body -https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/urban-survival/201505/5-ways-stress-hurts-your-body-and-what-do-about-it Emotions in the Body - http://candacepert.com/where-do-you-store-your-emotions/ Psychosomatic Network -  http://candacepert.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Psychosomatic-network-peptides-receptors-Pert-JI85-Pert-820-6.pdf Candace Pert PhD. - http://candacepert.com/ SIBO - https://draxe.com/sibo-symptoms/ Small Intestinal Bacteriral Overgrowth and Irritabel Bowel Syndrome - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5347643/ Featured Businesses: Peony Medicine Connect With the Show: Facebook Page – Everyday Pain Guide Facebook Group – Everyday Pain Forum Twitter – @noeverydaypain Music From This Episode:  Eric and Magill – https://ericandmagill.bandcamp.com/ Samuel Vas-Y – https://samyel.bandcamp.com Lame Drivers - https://lamedrivers.bandcamp.com

Is there a difference between Crisis Intervention Training vs. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training? Matt Tinney and Ben Melendrez discuss training around crisis intervention. What do you use in your program or training? How do you view your training? Is your training part of an overall program or is your training a stand-alone training? Remember a true CIT program is more than training. A big component is looking for resources to be part of the team and to help those in crisis. Training may be a critical part of your CIT program but it should not be the main part. Include your community experts in developing your training. What is your favorite shift for work and training? Ben and Matt both talk about 10-hour shifts and if your training should reflect the work schedule of the students. Should you put on classes that are 10-hour days if your students are working 10-hour days? Do you currently provide training for all shift and hours? Officers make bad audience to outside presenters. Prepare your outside presenters on what to expect when training law enforcement. You may need to work on your common language to not lose your audience. Officers as students sometimes appear distant as students but they are paying attention. How do you check your presenters for bias towards law enforcement? Check in with presenters beforehand. Get to know them and what their agendas may be. Look over their presentation and curriculum to see what the objects are and discuss what will work with law enforcement vs. what will alienate them. Should students have laptops and phones out during class? Ben speaks about why students should be allowed with their electronics. This generation is used to electronics and in college settings most students have laptops open. Officers are used to having to work on their computer while listening to the radio and another outside stimulus. How to check if you should take a specific class or if it is a good class. Ask for the curriculum Ask to see the latest reviews Ask others who have taken the class if they like it Nancy Martin MD then presents “ “That can’t be real... or is it?!?” A guide to delusions, hallucinations, and illusions “ on the CIT ECHO.

I flew back East for AnimeNEXT this year, and I figured I’d mark the occasion with a now-rare treat: an actual podcast episode. Our guests include a bunch of super-cool folks you may recognize: Ani-Gamers’ own Ink, Anime News Network writer and prolific con panelist Mike Toole, longtime translator Neil Nadelman, and returning podcast guest Patrick from The Cockpit. Topics include: cool ’80s anime Future Police Urashiman, Studio TRIGGER guests, English-speaking Japanese animator Aya Suzuki, the inherent superiority of East Coast anime con panels, and “ancient” anime conventions from before the year 2010. We tried recording this using two different portable recorders, and I think it came out pretty listenable. Show notes and links after the break.

The guests are Nate Ming from Crunchyroll News and the Crunchyroll Newsletter and YouTuber Nick Robinson, formerly of Revision3/Fandom Beat, Anime Vice, and Unwinnable.

Evan’s not flying back to New Jersey for AnimeNEXT, but he did attend FanimeCon 2014 in San Jose, CA. In this podcast, recorded on the fourth and final day of Fanime, Evan sits down with his Crunchyroll coworkers and arch-frenemies, Victoria Holden (a.k.a. SailorBee) and Danika Harrod (a.k.a. DarlingDaniChan) and cosplay photographer Ben Lam to talk about the con. Topics include Kill la Kill cosplay, Anime Hell, anime triathlons, and the “flipping off Evan” meme.

The “Flipping off Evan” meme is a thing that Danika started on Twitter for no good reason. Former Ani-Gamers blogger Elliot Page started a Tumblr compiling the best shots. Evan ran/participated in four panels: Introducing Studio Trigger (slightly updated version of the “‘Trigger’ Warning” Genericon panel), The Beautiful Backgrounds of Anime, The Changing Faces of Anime, and the Crunchyroll Industry Panel.

It’s been three months, but we’re back! This time Evan and David talk about anime that’s just old enough that you no longer care enough to be angry about it and video games so old you don’t even remember them anymore. Topics include Super Sonico, Nidhogg, Mother (the original, not the good one or the other good one), Cardcaptor Sakura, Inside Mari, being a tourist in Japan, being a BAD tourist in Japan, Japanese food, and oddly-specific otaku stores. We’re not putting timecodes in the show notes anymore starting with this episode because it takes too long and you guys probably don’t even care about it anyway.

A few days after Evan said nobody would license it and David said Sentai would… Sentai actually licensed it. (Watch it on Crunchyroll) Nidhogg is a 1-v-1 fencing football game or something like that. (Get it on Steam or the official site) Mother is an weird old NES JRPG. The sequel is Mother 2, better known in English as Earthbound. (You can’t get Mother legally in English, but you can get Earthbound on the Wii U Virtual Console) Cardcaptor Sakura is a famous magical girl manga series by superstar manga artists CLAMP. (Buy it on Amazon or RightStuf) Inside Mari is a creepy bodyswap manga by Flowers of Evil author Shuzo Oshimi (Read it on Crunchyroll) Japan is a country with some pretty cool stuff in it. We both visited it and talked way too much about it. The otaku meccas we discussed were Akihabara (just south of Ueno) and Nakano Broadway (just west of Shinjuku). The pirate-themed shop in Nakano Broadway that we talk about is called Bambool (here’s the official listing on the Nakano Broadway site). It turns out they’re not strictly pirate-themed, so I guess Evan was mistaken. The indie manga shop is Taco Che. Here’s the official site (in Japanese) and Nakano Broadway’s listing for it. For more info on otaku stuff to do in Japan Evan highly recommends Cruising the Anime City: An Otaku Guide to Neo Tokyo, by Patrick Macias (Otaku USA and Crunchyroll News Editor-in-Chief) Otaku USA Magazine: Evan and Ink wrote stuff for the new issue (cover is Attack on Titan). Evan did a review of .hack//Quantum (anime) and Wolfsmund (manga), and Ink did features on Beyond the Boundary, Kamisama Kiss, and (his favorite) Chihayafuru, as well as a review of the ongoing series Samurai Flamenco. Read more stuff from Ink at Fandom Post. He just did a pretty great Paranoia Agent writeup recently. Twitter: Ani-Gamers, Evan, David We didn’t mention it in the show, but we’re going to Genericon in Troy, NY again this year! Evan, Ink, and David will be there alongside Ed Chavez and possibly a couple other online anime folks. Evan’s not staff anymore, but he’s running two panels: “The Beautiful Backgrounds of Anime” (about anime background art) and “‘Trigger’ Warning: Birth of an Anime Studio” (about Studio Trigger, Kill la Kill, Inferno Cop, etc.)

In this episode (our THIRD episode this year — crazy, huh?), Evan, Ink, and David chat about some anime and video games that they’ve been watching and playing, including the Fall 2013 anime season! Topics include failed superheroes, poorly timed apocalypse stories, interminable space brotherhoods, hyperactive tennis clubs, magical glasses, fascist high schools, frog rappers, and the profound pain of game development. We talk about Kill la Kill for a while, so that’s kind of the main topic of this show. Show notes and links after the break, yo.

In this episode we make the mistake of trying to record a podcast in a moving car! Evan and Ink, exhausted from a weekend at Otakon 2013 talk about the ups and downs of the convention with Vinnie and Vince Averello. The audio quality isn’t great, but for a podcast recorded on a portable recorder in a car, I think we did a damn good job. Show notes and links are after the break, as always.

It’s been far too long since we’ve put out a podcast, so here’s a little discussion of the drooleriffic 2012 anime series Mysterious Girlfriend X, featuring Ani-Gamers contributing editor Ink and our two buddies from across the pond, Phillip O’Connor (Ani-Gamers columnist) and former Ani-Gamer Elliot Page. I’m also there to do the intro/outro and ask a few questions, but seeing as I never watched the show, I mostly just listen this time. NOTE: The podcast has some mild spoilers for Mysterious Girlfriend X. If you’re in the area, remember to come out to AnimeNEXT 2013 this weekend in Somerset, NJ to see Ink and I (I’m running two panels: “The Beautiful Backgrounds of Anime” and “Panel Lightning Round”).

In this episode, I’m joined by indie comics writer Rachel Pandich and anime blogger/podcaster Kate (a.k.a. Narutaki) from the Reverse Thieves to discuss Western (i.e. non-manga) comics that appeal to anime and manga fans. We also talk about New York Comic Con and Masaaki Yuasa’s Kick-Heart Kickstarter, which is about to hit its deadline TONIGHT (10/30) after reaching its goal a few days early.

David and Evan make their long-awaited return to talk about Magic Knight Rayearth, Fruits Basket, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Darker Than Black, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Summer 2012 anime, the Neo Geo Pocket Color, and … Animorphs? This show was recorded LIVE in Evan’s apartment, which means it has approximately 50% better jokes and 70% fewer awkward pauses than a typical episode of the Ani-Gamers Podcast (based on real science). We tried a slightly different, slightly looser format than usual for this episode. Drop us a line at our email address (linked below) if you like it! Show notes and links after the break.

[0:00:15] Intro: “Kill Me” by Lame Drivers [0:00:33] Welcome! Our hosts are Ani-Gamers bloggers Evan Minto and David Estrella! [0:01:27] We partnered with Crunchyroll News to cross-post our content. Cool stuff. [0:03:52] “What’cha Been Doing?” Evan starts with his self-education in shojo manga via Magic Knight Rayearth and Fruits Basket. Also Evan keeps talking about how much he loves Mars. [0:13:55] David hasn’t been watching anime from the Summer 2012 season. What this really means is he’s been “barely” watching anime. Evan is the true master of actually not watching anything. Series include Joshiraku and Hyouka. David also hates on Kids on the Slope. [0:20:14] Evan’s watching Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. [0:28:06] Evan and David are both watching Darker Than Black (David’s already seen it). [0:31:33] Evan is playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is pretty OK. [0:33:37] Superhero Comics? Huh? Evan read Avengers: Disassembled in an attempt to introduce himself to Avengers comics. It was… kinda lame and confusing. David read a Hawkeye comic that was extremely purple and also pretty good. Both bought from Aquilonia Comics. [0:36:58] News: The Rose of Versailles anime got licensed! [0:38:42] News: The Wii U has a release date and a bunch of super-weak launch games. Get your Nintendo goggles on! [0:42:01] David bought a Neo Geo Pocket Color from Pastime Legends, which is pretty rad. [0:44:45] News: Genericon dates are out! March 1-3 in Troy, NY!

What? Huh? What’s a podcast? I’m not even sure anymore. But luckily David Estrella is here to help re-discover the true meaning of podcasting in the latest episode of the Ani-Gamers Podcast. Unfortunately, he doesn’t help me remember to introduce myself. Whoops! In this episode, we talk about crying anime girls, genre deconstructions, and spurious voice acting performances as we tackle the hugely popular magical girl anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the show — we’ve separated our spoiler talk into a separate section of the podcast after the outro song. Everything in the main section is free of Madoka spoilers (though we might slip in some spoilers for older series on occasion).

(Host Evan Minto forgot to introduce himself, like an idiot.) We also talk about iDOLM@STER for a bit since David reviewed it on the site. [0:05:14] Madoka review starts. We decide on not spoiling the series until the end of the show (separated into a post-outro section). [0:09:58] The fan culture around Madoka is incredibly important to an understanding of the show, so we take a good look at the zeitgeist. [0:19:52] There’s a lot of suffering and sadness in Madoka. Which parts worked, and which ones didn’t? [0:23:53] The English dub has some spectacular hits and embarrassing misses. We also describe the fictional life story of Christina Vee. [0:32:35] Madoka is undoubtedly a deconstruction of the magical girl genre, but what does that mean? Does it help or hurt the show? Evan says the word “deconstruction” over and over without really explaining what he’s talking about, so, uh… sorry about that. In this case he’s basically talking about examining and taking apart a genre by looking at the consequences of the fantasies inherent therein. [0:43:04] Shaft and Akiyuki Shinbo are known for their quirky art style. Is it appropriate for Madoka’s ambitious narrative? [1:02:44] We lay down some final thoughts on Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

[1:09:38] Outro: “Kill Me” by Lame Drivers [1:09:59] David and Evan spoil the heck out of Madoka Magica as they continue their discussion of the series. Don’t listen past the end of the outro song unless you’ve already seen Madoka or are OK with having major plot twists spoiled. Also, uh, we kinda spoil some stuff from Gurren Lagann and Serial Experiments Lain. Sorry!

What’s that? SIX MONTHS? Well, if you listen to the Ani-Gamers Podcast, I guess you’re probably used to super-long waits by now. Anyway, we’re back, and we’re starting off the year 2012 with something very timely and totally not recorded in the spring of last year: a review of the 2008 Spice & Wolf anime with Evan, Ink, and THEM Anime Reviews‘ very own Bradley C. Meek. Prepare for economics, wolf girls, and infuriating moé shepherds. That, plus a few mild spoilers, but there honestly isn’t much worth spoiling in this show. (Check the show notes for timecodes if you’re really spoiler-phobic.) We’re also trying out some new intro and outro music, so we would appreciate some feedback on those from our listeners.
